On Saturday evening ,the 17th, I went with my host family to a Greyhound raising. It was a huge stadium which is only for Greyhound raising. It was my first time at an event like this. I put money on three dogs and of course I ended up putting my money on the dogs with the best names=) I won once and lost twice. At the end I won 3,20 euros ! ( 6,20 euros winnings and 3 euros loss)
All in all it was really cool and I enjoyed it!
On Sunday, the 18th, my host family and I went to the Donkey Sanctuary in Lisscarroll.
It is a place where donkey from all over Ireland find a new home when they have been badly treaten from their owners. It was really stormy so all donkeys were in a huge stable. Afterwards we went down the hill where the Donkey Sanctuary is located to the centre of the village Lisscarroll. There were some stalls with cute things. Some were to raise money for charity and some were run by young people to raise money for the local community in Lisscarroll. There were also some girls who played irish music- They were pretty good!
At 15:00 Lola, the dog of my host family, took part in a dog competition. There were categories like the Friendliest dog and the dog with the waggiest tail. Unfortunally Lola didn't win. I think the competition was a bit unfair because all the dogs were so excited to meet each other that they couldn't really show how friendly they are normally.
All in all this trip was also great!
